Hyderabad, Jan 28 (.) Timetooth Technologies launched India’s first-ever certified aircraft passenger seat – the Altura RA at Wings India 2026, here on Wednesday.
The ITSO-C39c seat is certified for the HAL built Hindustan-228, delivering a 15-20% weight reduction over legacy configurations, without compromising safety margins.
Timetooth seats spark a revolution in domestic R&D, fostering a culture of self-sufficiency and ingenuity.
Beyond innovation, Timetooth has set up production, sourcing, and logistics from scratch, empowering the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” movement.
Aircraft seats also unlock powerful opportunities for higher-value aerospace exports—positioning Indian solutions to global markets.
Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, the Director General of Civil Aviation, also awarded India’s First ITSO (Indian Technical Standard Order) for Seating Systems to Ms. Janhavi Nene, VP – Engineering and head of the seats program at Timetooth.
India’s 100% import dependence in a potentially $ 900 million Aircraft Seating market was finally shattered in a landmark development for the Indian aerospace industry.
“For decades, India has been a global aviation that remained 100% dependent on foreign imports for aircraft seating. Today, Timetooth breaks that cycle with a world class product that aligns with international benchmarks of safety and AS9100 quality standards; and is entirely Made in India from ‘Concept to Certification’, “opined Amitav Chaudhari – Co-Founder and Director Timetooth.
Girish Mudgal – Co-Founder and Director said, “In Aviation, the leverage does not lie in cutting the metal but in owning the type certificate. Timetooth’s vision is to build indigenous IP in Aviation products like Seating Systems and Landing Gears. Leveraging our experience and expertise in simulation driven engineering, we are trying to set paradigms in Aviation product design so that the world looks at us for aviation innovation and not just cost-efficient production.”
